0161 Recommended by the Prime Minister
When Li Guangshun led the forbidden army to wash the house of Qiu Shenqi in blood, Li Tong still stayed in Luantai.
His grandmother sent him to convey the edict, and then he didn't have any more explanations, and he didn't dare to leave the imperial city without permission, so he simply stayed here and observed the office environment in Menxia Province.
After leaving the cabinet, although the three Li Tong brothers also looked at Shuo to participate in the court, they basically left in a hurry after participating in the court meeting, and they did not have the opportunity to wander around the official offices of these central institutions.
As one of the three central provinces, Luantai has a grand official residence, covering a very vast area, although it is already night, there are still many officials on duty at night, the lights inside and outside are bright, and the personnel go in and out, which seems to be very busy.
After Wei Fangzhen, the waiter of Luantai on duty at night, issued an edict, he confessed and returned to the straight hall to deal with the case, leaving only a few officials to accompany the young king. Li Tong is an idler, and it is not good to find someone to talk to and disturb the normal office of others.
Not long after he lay down here, he heard someone outside asking, "Can the king be in the house?" ”
Without waiting for the official to answer, Li Tong got up again and tidied up his robe a little, and asked people to step forward to open the door, and saw a middle-aged official in his forties and fifties wearing a green robe standing in front of the door.
The middle-aged man had a clear and upright face, and he had a very elegant temperament, and when he saw the young king get up to greet him, he hurriedly raised his hand and said with a smile, "The lowly left makes up for Qiao Zhizhi, knowing that the king is coming to Luantai, he has come to worship, and he is bothered, and he asks the king not to sin." ”
Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Li Tong looked at his eyes in a little surprise, and then said with a smile, "Qiao Buque is famous, Xiao Wang has been famous for a long time, I regret that I can't ask for advice at the same time. ”
This Qiao Zhizhi, although the official position is not high, his talent is really not weak. It is best known to later generations, or a peach-colored incident, there is a beautiful maid in the family who was taken away by Wu Chenghei, Qiao Zhizhi sent love poems, secretly sent the maidservant, and the maid committed suicide in anger, which angered Wu Chenghei, and was instructed by Wu Chengsi to frame Qiao Zhizhi and kill him.
Of course, that's all an afterthought, and now Li Tong has heard his name for a long time, but it's not a lie. Qiao Zhizhi has the name of literary words, in addition to intersecting with Chen Ziang, he also has a good relationship with Shen Yanqi, Li Qiao and others. Li Tong didn't have many friends, and occasionally heard Qiao Zhizhi's name from Li Qiao and others.
"The king expands the new laws, and the humble position is often appreciated in the Lu, which is strange and interesting, and has a great talent for washing ears and entertaining new talents. I regret that I can't see the style up close, and I can't press my feelings when I hear that the king is approaching the left, and I can't press my feelings......"
After Qiao Zhizhi walked into the room and sat down, his expression was slightly excited, and he opened his mouth and said, "The new song of the king's "Heavenly Fairy", the water tune is several times, and I wake up drunk in the afternoon and am not awake...... Extremely emotional, singing into the heart, lowly love is deep, often with the flow of the times to make music appreciation, only sigh the king's new words to draw up, the song words are out of slang and neat, chapter style elegant ......"
Probably because of the voice that had been accumulated for too long, he finally had a chance to talk, and after Qiao Zhizhi took his seat, he gave a series of praises and praises, so that Li Tong couldn't find a chance to interject.
For his enthusiasm, Li Tong also felt quite unbearable. Although he has always been obsessed with the great cause of copying, he has never had the energy to do it with his heart, especially this night, which is full of conspiracy and danger, and he is really not in the mood to deal with Qiao Zhizhi, an old literary youth.
However, Li Tong also understands in his heart that with the resolution of the hidden danger of Qiu Shenyun this night, their brothers will definitely go deeper into the current situation in the future, and any kind of person will have the opportunity to come into contact with it, and a figure like Qiao Zhizhi may not be able to provide direct political assistance, but it can bring great help to Li Tong in terms of network development.
Therefore, Li Tong stopped thinking about Qiu Shenzhi for the time being, and patiently discussed poetry creation skills with Qiao Zhizhi.
Of course, when it comes to the real proficiency of poetry, Li Tong is far less profound than Qiao Zhizhi, an old talent, after all, the other party can have a similar interest in such an ability as Chen Ziang. But Li Tong's advantage is that he is open-minded, and he can briefly remember the development of poetry and literature in the Tang Dynasty, and when discussing with Qiao Zhizhi, not only does he not fall behind, but he can even turn around to lead the rhythm of the conversation.
While they were talking, Li Tong looked up and found that Wei Fangzhen, the waiter of Luantai, appeared outside the door at some point, and listened to the conversation between the two in the room.
Seeing that the young king looked at him, Wei Fangzhi walked into the room, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at the young king with a little appreciation, "The king is full of fun, he spits Lanzhi, and many witty words are alarming. ”
When the prime minister entered, the two people in the room did not dare to slack off, and each got up to greet each other. Qiao Zhizhi paddled during working hours, came to discuss poetry with the young king, and was always a little embarrassed in front of his boss, so he got up and said goodbye after sitting with him for a while, and before leaving, he agreed to invite Li Qiao and other literary friends to visit the palace on a later date.
After Qiao Zhizhi left, Wei Fangzhi said again: "Earlier, Ouyang Tong roared at the Feng Pavilion, making people lose their education. At the beginning of the year, I was fortunate to hear the song form of "Vientiane", which already made people know that what they saw was biased. Today, you have to get close and close, and know more about the king's beauty and talent......"
"Wei Xianggong praised falsely, Xiao Wang accepted it, although he couldn't match one or two words, but with this self-warning, I hope to be able to chase after Yan Praise."
Li Tong was perfunctory on his lips, but he was a little curious in his heart why Wei Fangzhi had such an attitude. Although it is inevitable to see each other on the occasion of Wangshuo's pilgrimage, there is still less talk between each other.
Wei Fangzhi was so kind and pleasant, which made him a little flattered. Even if there is an edict, it should not be possible for a prime minister to hand it over immediately. You must know that this Wei Fangzhi will be unlucky in the future, because the spectrum is too big, and he will not pretend to be a martial artist who leans towards the government and the opposition.
"The king is very talented, and he regrets that he is not familiar with the world. The old man is a clever step, and in the coming day, a member of the same clan will enter the god capital, and he wants to recommend his subordinates to listen to the teachings, but I don't know if the king is willing to accept it? ”
Wei Fangzhen said with a smile again.
After Li Tong heard this, he was really a little flattered, he stood up directly from the seat, and gave Wei Fangzhen a salute, before he said, "Xiao Wang Caoye idler, thanks to Wei Xianggong's elegance, I recommend it to fill my guest seat, thank you Xianggong for your kindness." ”
There is a reason why he was so surprised. Regardless of Wei Fangzhen's position as prime minister for the time being, he was born in Jingzhao Webster, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first family in Guanzhong.
Although he has been trying to get rid of the restrictions of Guanzhong's position since the time of Gaozong, the death of the eldest grandson Wuji means that the situation of the political dominance of the Guanlong Xungui group no longer exists. In the Wu Zetian period, the means were more intense, but the political potential of these wealthy families represented by Jingzhao Wei's and Hongnong's Yang was still huge.
Although the political group of Li Wuwei and Yang, which gradually took shape in the middle and late Wu Zhou period, was only an academic generalization, it also had a practical influence on the direction of the entire empire in the following decades.
was even so powerful that Wu Zetian, the founder, had a sense of crisis, and had to use the two brothers to restrain him, and even directly forced Li Xian's eldest son and imperial grandson Li Chongrun, but in the end he still did not escape the fate of being forced into the palace by the Shenlong coup.
At present, although there is no shadow of this marriage group, the influence of Jingzhao Webster is still not to be underestimated. In the Wu Zhou Dynasty alone, there were as many as four or five prime ministers who came out of Webster.
One of the advantages of such a great family is that they have a large number of clansmen and family education, and can continuously provide qualified political talents.
For example, Wei Fangzhen in front of him is a talent in criminal law and law, and he has studied the form of laws and decrees very deeply since the national dynasty, and the "Forty-eight Articles of Customs and Honest Inspection" compiled by him is the main article to examine the ability of local officials to do politics.
Li Tong's joy is not because of Wei Fangzhen's personal attitude towards him, after all, even if Wei Fangzhen does not have a catastrophe soon after, the political prospects are not great, and the current Li Tong is not qualified to reach any political alliance with the prime minister, even if the other party looks up to him, he is afraid that he will fold in it.
Wei Fangzhi was willing to introduce the children of the same sect to Li Tong, which meant that the existence of several young kings had finally gained the attention of such a wealthy family, thinking that their brothers already had the potential to burn cold stoves!
For Li Tong, the significance is too great. Who were those people he used to recruit? Let's put it this way, even if he provokes an incident this time and shakes the government and the opposition, he will hardly be able to get any decent political return except for himself on the field.
For example, this time the officials and subordinates of Luoyang County were almost swept away, and according to normal political logic, Li Tong also wanted a piece of the pie.
He didn't dare to think about the kind of Chi County magistrate in Luoyang, and it was not bad to fight for the position of county lieutenant for his own people, but the problem was that even if he could win it, no one in the mansion under his door would be qualified enough to do it!
If there were clansmen like Jing Zhaowei in Li Tong's mansion, the situation would be completely different. This means that Li Tong can borrow Webster's huge political influence under certain circumstances through his people, and there is a lot of room for manipulation!
Before Li Tong could ask Wei Fangzhen who he was going to recommend to him, there was a commotion of people and horses outside the Luantai official office, and then a clerk rushed to tell him, "The king of Guanghan has entered the workshop and has returned!" ”
Hearing this, Li Tong's spirits suddenly perked up, and he got up and walked out with Wei Fangzhen. As soon as the two arrived near the Zhitang, they saw Li Guangshun walking in armor and blood, walking to the front of the Zhitang, looking at Li Tong, excited, and at the same time said to Wei Fangzhen, "The lowly duty was ordered to capture the thief, but the thief was not willing to enter the case, and he resisted fiercely, and in desperation, he could only order to be killed. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a move, and his own sergeant stepped forward and posed the heads of the bloody Qiu clan's sons.
When Li Tong saw this scene, he couldn't help but be impressed by his eldest brother. He was originally worried that his brother had always been cautious, and he might not dare to kill him, but now it seems that this worry is superfluous, their Li family is really a rare good man and woman!
Several bloody heads were placed in front of him, Wei Fangzhen was also a little dumbfounded for a while, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, and after a moment of silence, he said again, "Please take the king to temporarily reside in the office, and the minister will immediately enter the Chen Zuo affair, please appeal to His Majesty the God Emperor." ”
